| | Some violent cons getting house arrest - The Clarion-Ledger |
 | | Roach is among roughly 1,300 state inmates on house arrest, some of whom are like Roach — convicted of a violent crime that by law excludes them from being in the program. |
 | | In addition to Roach, the roster of inmates on house arrest includes persons convicted of sexual battery of a child, robbery, aggravated assault, sale of cocaine, felons in possession of firearms, child abuse, exploitation of a child, fondling a child, gratification of lust and others. |
